Where Oil Platform Harvest is
Oil Platform Harvest sits at 34.4692° N, 120.6819° W on the California coast, about 13 mi southwest of Lompoc, CA. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1992 until 2023, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Port San Luis (NOAA 9412110), 48.5 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 9 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Harvest, CA (071), an offshore buoy reporting wind, waves and water temperature, 5.7 mi away.
The tide at Oil Platform Harvest
Oil Platform Harvest has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains noticeably lower than the other. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 5.2 ft, and 3.5 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.7 ft and the lower low sits 1.0 ft below the other low. For the water around it: California tides are mixed semidiurnal, two highs and two lows a day of unequal height, with ranges of 4 to 7 ft.
About this station
- High tide reaches Oil Platform Harvest about 5.8 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- Highest water on record: 7.4 ft on Jun 6, 1997.
- Lowest on record: -2.2 ft on Jun 3, 1992.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Oil Platform Harvest from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 5.2 ft above it and mean sea level 2.7 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Los Angeles, CA gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9411406, established 1992, gauge removed 2023. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
